Predictions for 2018

In spite of my lackluster performance on my predictions for 2017, I thought I would give it another try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Financing will be secured for a southern border wall and construction will begin. In spite of Anne Coulter’s frowny face, there will finally be movement on the wall.

The Mueller investigation will officially wrap up before the fall midterm elections. You can’t continue to draw a paycheck for nothing forever. Muller will have to wrap this nonsense up this year and what better time to do it than before the midterms?

Mueller’s Investigation will not show any collusion between Trump or the Trump campaign and Russia to “hack” the election. But how could it? It’s ridiculous. If there really was any information along these lines, it would have leaked long ago.

The Republicans will keep control of the Senate after the 2018 elections. This isn’t a prediction so much as a statement of math. The Democrats are defending more senate seats than the Republicans and 5 of them are in red States.

The Republicans will keep control of the House after the 2018 elections. The conventional wisdom as of this writing is that there will be a blue wave that gives the Democrats a good shot at winning the House. From that point, one assumes: Impeachment, then…magically Hillary? Not holding my breath.

The price of Bitcoin will crash in 2018. This is not because I know anything about digital currencies, but painful experience has taught me a lot about bubbles, and it looks like Bitcoin is in one.

At least 3 terrorist attacks in Western Europe with double digit casualties (Injuries and or deaths). This one came through last year, so I have to ask myself, have the Europeans learned anything? I’m predicting no. They have not.

Kim Jong-un will still be the supreme head honcho of North Korea throughout 2018. So no successful coups and no major military assaults that will take down the regime.

US Housing prices will continue to steadily increase throughout the year. Again with the bubbles, we’re not near one for housing. So don’t sell your home and put the profits into Bitcoin.

There will be an infrastructure bill that will pass with some Democratic votes. The Democrats have been in lockstep in voting no the past year but the promise of money going to localities and union pressure will peel off the normal leadership opposition.
